Synthesis of optically active strigolactones: enzymatic resolution and asymmetric hydroxylation
摘要:
A synthetic intermediate of an optically active strigolactone analogue was prepared in two ways: enzymatic resolution and asymmetric hydroxylation. The 4-hydroxy tricyclic lactone 4 was enzymatically resolved to give the corresponding enantiomers in an enantiomerically pure state, while the tricyclic lactone 5 was hydroxylated asymmetrically at the 4-position by the action of cytochrome P450 monooxygenase.

In contrast to a biomimetic electrophilic cyclisation cascade, we employ a contra-biomimetic nucleophilic cyclisation cascade to give the tricyclic core of 4-hydroxy-GR24 in a single step. Kinetic resolution using a stereoselective Noyori transfer hydrogenation enables the concise synthesis of any enantiomerically enriched 4-hydroxy-GR24 stereoisomer.
